That number will differ, but it's still a large boost from the previous generation. Whereas Microsoft claims about 10.5 hours of life from the Pro 7 (realistically about 8 hours as tested in our Surface Pro 7 review), the Pro 7 Plus is pegged at about 15 hours for Wi-Fi models. On top of a nice performance bump, the efficiency of the newer CPUs should extend battery life. Up to 32GB of LPDDR4x is now configurable, up from 16GB in the Pro 7.

Do note that the Core i3 models are still using Intel UHD graphics if you'd like the extra graphics performance, you'll have to stick with 11th Gen Core i5 or Core i7 models.

Intel itself claims up to a 30% increase in processing power and an 80% increase in graphics power thanks to integrated Intel Iris Xe. It seems Microsoft wanted to get the new Intel processors (CPU) into the Pro lineup, as well as add LTE for those who need it without going with a more in-depth redesign.Ĭompared to the Pro 7 with its 10th Gen Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 CPUs, the Pro 7 Plus with 11th Gen chips should be considerably faster.
